no one should ever turn hogs loose. This aint bassfishing boys.The buyer I use kills any hogs he cant use. I know he shot 60 one day. Any ethical hoghunter would not catch and release any wild hog. The pig population does not need uor help.
Managing a hog herd is unethical?
Preacher1, according to you I am a unethical hunter. Hog management is not unethical in my eyes and getting Brucilosis is a chance anyone takes when they mess with a wild hog. Its in the same category as Lime desease and ticks, and getting struck by lightning in my book.
Lots of places need the hogs killed and gone I agree but not all of them. Im all about controlling the population in any place but that doesnt always involve killing every hog you catch.
Dont get me started on hog hunting ethics. There are more irresponsible hog hunters running around in the woods these days than ever. Poaching, disrespect and no regard for land owners are a much bigger problem than cutting a few hogs loose.
Do you think every legal deer that walks past you in the woods should be shot? Do you think that every bass in a given body of water should be released? It all depends on were you hunt and fish, regulations and land owner requirments in my book.
If keeping a few bass to eat from a overpopulated pond and releasing good barrs on a given property that doesnt have many hogs is unethical then throw me under the bus. Just dont call me hungry!!!
